Deeply moving, the poems reflect on the human experience and the relationship of man with his environment and with God.In the author's own words: The virtually conflicting rapport with the reader often causes me to escape into remote ages and cultures, in which the poets dealt with issues that are consonant with mine: the homoerotic relation, the transposition of the bipolar tension in the man-God relationship.Particularly fascinated by the Sufi poetry of Arabian-Persian derivation, I have attained an understanding of the Middle-Eastern world by assimilating the writings of Annemarie Schimmel, the refined Islamologist departed in 2003. Years spent in Tunisia have contributed to my cultural enrichment as a poet who wholeheartedly prizes poverty in all of its forms as the only means for sublimating the ills of the individual and of the world.Born in Holland, Arnold de Vos lived for many years in Tunisia and currently resides in Italy. He has written in Dutch, English and French, and now his poems spring forth in Italian. \u003cem\u003eNakedness Is Your Priestly Robe\u003c\/em\u003e is a prolific and almost automatic outpouring from his soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arnold De Vos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608609545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608609543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Strategic Book Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Arnold De Vos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927715467519,"sku":"9781608609543","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7bb93bd7-83fb-42d1-b7fd-20245c1ccc2a.jpg?v=1749372731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nakedness-is-your-priestly-robe-arnold-de-vos-9781608609543","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
